In the mythic age before the rise of mortal kings, Ireland was said to be ruled by a radiant race of divine beings known as the Tuatha Dé Danann. At their head stood Nuada-warrior, lawgiver, and the first great sovereign of the gods. His reign embodied the ancient ideal of sacred kingship, where the fate of the land was bound to the body and spirit of its ruler. But when a devastating wound shattered the sacred law of perfection, Nuada was forced to surrender his throne, plunging the Tuatha Dé Danann into a dark era of tyranny, betrayal, and cosmic imbalance.
God-Kings of Ireland tells the powerful mythic story of Nuada's rise, his tragic fall from power, and the extraordinary path that led to his legendary return as Nuada Airgetlám-Nuada of the Silver Hand. Set against the backdrop of Ireland's oldest legends, this sweeping narrative explores divine kingship, ancient law, heroic battles, and the eternal struggle between order and chaos. Through the trials of one wounded king, the mythology of Ireland reveals timeless themes of sacrifice, transformation, and the enduring power of rightful sovereignty.
